Patrice and Luis, in happier times
This weekend is FA Cup fourth-round weekend, and the headline affair is the first meeting
between Liverpool and Manchester United since that whole sordid Suarez/Evra ordeal swelled up,
became painfully inflamed, burst through the abdominal wall of public consciousness and then
scabbed over like a big racist hernia.

Not sure it was the job he had his sights set on landing when he walked out on Fulham six months

that Mark Hughes has been sworn in as QPR's new manager on a two-and-a-half year deal following

Ok, here we go again!
We'll start this morning with some team news ahead of the Norwich game and there's bad news for
two young full backs. Kieran Gibbs has a hernia and Arsene explains:

meadow and actually started doing it, so that their abomination of a captain wouldn't have to get

season. That is, until he tore his ACL which ended his year.
Last Friday evening at Foote Field in Edmonton, the Eddies' were taking on Carolina RailHawks

He said:
Instead of thinking about winning the title, we should think about winning two
